Summary
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.
Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defence.

can be useful
I have just finished this very interesting audiobook. Indeed full of tips and deep analyses of the diverse human personalities and feelings out there. The analyses support the common perceptions about human nature out there but with elegance and clarity that would give you a deeper understanding by the end. However my problem is I couldn't help but notice again and again the extremely cynical tone of the audiobook: basically essentially everyone is out there to get you. I'm not questioning this and not interested in that as it is very subjective. In fact the audiobook is an exercise in subjectivity of the author. Although I would say I learnt much from the little stories about the various historical figures! I would recommend this with a condition, selectively pick the tips of the book. And remember mindfulness and compassion are a better approach to connecting with people (to be fair he says presence is important)! And for goodness' sake don't manipulate people as the author recommends at points!!! Yes true story!🤨

Brilliant.
Essential reading for everyone. Extremely well written and thought provoking. I simply love this book and I'm sure to re-read it. Having also read "48 Laws of Power" and "The 50th Law", I highly recommend Robert Greene's style of writing.

Not great
This book kind of reads like a high school students first philosophy essay. It is evident is is written by a scientist as it veers into fields outside the author’s specialism with all the self-aggrandising confidence you only get from being the ‘smart person’ all your life. It is strongly conjectural and relies heavily on anecdotal evidence with no real critical, historical or factual review of the underlying principles. It is fine as an introductory read, but it will leave unassuming readers with an unjustified sense that they now understand the world.

Awesome book
Didn't realise how I was just stumbling along in life. This has opened my eyes. Makes you realise there are reasons why your life is they way it is and how you can be conscious of it and make changes knowledgeably

Great book and very relevant for our times
I really enjoyed listening to this book. I have also bought the hard copy but as it's about 800 pages long and I have a young baby i was struggling to find the time to finish. i got to just over 400 pages and really wanted to read the rest so bought it on audible. Best decision

The True Guide To Navigating The Murky World
Exceptional. If you have eagerness to learn what makes us tick and rather un-special, this is the audiobook for you. The narrator isn't the most exciting but definitely grows on you and generally makes you grow listening to this. Highly recommend but not for the faint hearted due to the length

Prolific... Thought-Provoking... Educational.
This is the first time I have ever listened to or have read, an audio book by Robert Greene. Absolutely amazing! The author is so prolific. As you listen to this audio book you will notice and begin to understand more the relationships in your life, as well as your own behaviours.
I love the way the author uses mini-biographies to illustrate his theories, and the way he has structured this piece of work. The chapters which stood out the most for me were the ones about aimlessness and death. You too will have chapters which stand out for you.
If you are a serious student of personal self-development and human psychology you've got to buy this audio book.
Thank you.
